Legendary maestro Eddie Palmieri has delivered his second Salsa album of 2018 with \u201cMi Luz Mayor\u201d.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s after a Salsa recording hiatus of 15 years. His previous Salsa recording was \u201cRitmo Caliente\u201d, which was a hybrid of re-arrangements of some of his previously recorded Salsa hits with some new Latin Jazz.<\/p>\n

You would have to go back four more years to his all Salsa recording of \u201cEl Rumbero del Piano\u201d (1999).<\/p>\n

As if this isn\u2019t enough for Salsa fans, Palmieri added the great singer\/sonero Gilberto Santa Rosa<\/a> to join Herman Olivera at vocals in \u201cMi Luz Mayor\u201d.<\/p>\n

The maestro Eddie Palmieri launched “Mi Luz Mayor”, his 2nd Salsa album of 2018, and one of the best of his music career.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For this album, which will surely become historic in Salsa music, the man of the \u201cpiano rumbero\u201d decided to expand his orchestra to a big band format.<\/p>\n

Palmieri\u2019s Salsa band is not far from being big, but the added brass gives Palmieri\u2019s music a sense of \u201caugmented reality\u201d.<\/p>\n

The arrangements were done by the experienced big band maestros Ray Santos and Jose Madera.<\/p>\n

Special Guests in \u201cMi Luz Mayor\u201d<\/h3>\n

I already mentioned that Gilberto Santa Rosa joined Palmieri\u2019s veteran singer Herman Olivera at vocals.<\/p>\n

In addition, Palmieri also invited Latin music legend Carlos Santana to join in the song \u201cMi Congo\u201d.<\/p>\n

The great thing about Palmieri and Santana is that neither has anything to prove. It shows as Santana plays the right riffs at the right time to enhance the song. He\u2019s not in there to takeover the song by showing-off with his guitar. He adds melody and rhythm as the polished musician he is.<\/p>\n

Gilberto and Herman sing five songs each. The 11th song in \u201cMi Luz Mayor\u201d is the instrumental \u201cMi Congo\u201d featuring Carlos Santana.<\/p>\n
